Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the level of self-independence and ego identity among martially delayed in Irbid governorate, as well as the correlation relationship among them, and if there are differences attributed to gender, level of income, and scientific qualification. The sample of the study consisted of (220) working martially delayed females selected through available sampling. To achieve the aim of the study, the researcher used a descriptive approach and administrated the self-independence scale developed by (Ameen, 2017) and translating and developing ego identity scale (EIPQ). The findings of the study showed that the level of self-independence among martially delayed was at a high level, and an average of 3.68, and the results of the ranks of the ego identity showed that accomplished identity came first within the highest frequency of (40.5%) then the closed identity with a frequency of (28.6%) and suspended identity with a frequency of (24.5%) and finally distracted identity within the lowest rank and a frequency of (6.4%). The findings of the study regarding the self-independence scale showed significant statistical differences attributed to age in all domains except for achieving identity, there were no significant statistical differences attributed to income level and scientific qualification in all self-independence scale domains. The findings of the ego identity scale showed that there are no significant statistical differences in the distribution of martially delayed distribution according to ego identity ranks (accomplished, distracted, suspended, and closed identity) according to age, level of income, and scientific qualification.
